Number 8

NUMBER 1

 I followed him in and am so thankful for my timing cause as I entered I witnessed Luther holding Klaus up in the air by his neck like he weighed nothing, "Put him down Luther", I screamed at the top of my lungs, and Luther did as told leaving Klaus to bounce on the hard floor coughing trying to get his breath back,

"What's wrong with you Luther you were just fine not even 15mins back and now you wanna kill your brother?", I spoke towering in front of Klaus to keep him out of sight,

"Jesus Christ", I heard Klaus gasping for air,

"LUTHER!" I screamed as he still had his back to me,

"Of course, I tried!", Klaus cut me off, "All right? God knows, I've tried, but he is as he was in life, he's a stubborn prick", he was standing up now, I know he was talking about dad but why was that a topic suddenly, and between THESE two? something was off so I took a step back to examine the situation...

"He needs to answer to me for what he did, for sending me up there. I sacrificed everything for him, my entire life. I never left this house. I never had friends, and for what? for nothing", Luther sounded on the verge of breaking down and these words got me and Klaus teary-eyed as well, 

I never really realized what all Luther had to go through living with dad while all of us went on with our own leaving this shithole behind but we also left Luther, our number 1, how could we do that to him, the one guy who always wanted us to stay together, the one person who had full belief in 'The Umbrella Academy'... He was the perfect leader without him I still wouldn't have hope in us, Dad chose right, he is the perfect leader and is meant to lead The Umbrella Academy.

"Oh no, no, no, no." Klaus tried to console him as he walked towards Luther, "Hey, just... just... just relax okay? Just- relax. I could try again." This was so sweet seeing Klaus being himself and having a soft and Carey spot for everyone, even Luther "I mean, I can't promise I'm clean enough. But just-- ",  Luther just plopped down on the sofa and continued to finish the drink he picked up from the side table,

So that's what's wrong, that's why Klaus has been acting so different he was seeming more firm than normal yet more lost cause at the moment his mind is open to welcome all the ghosts and they all will be able to talk to him, Dammit should have guessed it.

"Hey, come on, hey, hey, hey, hey, come on.", Klaus said moving more closer, It felt like I wasn't there and it wasn't so bad of a feeling, I wonder if that's how Ben feels... "That's enough of that. Enough of that. Come on." I don't know what's more surprising Klaus telling someone to stop drinking or the fact that Luther listened to Klaus, what a crazy day first my mother gets blown up in front of me, and now this.

I was so lost replaying the events that took place in two days that I couldn't hear a word of their conversation but they seemed so calm and looked like brothers in quite a while, and then I heard sweet Klaus's encouraging voice,

"what are you talking about? You're our Number one, remember? O, Captain! My Captain!", Luther and I let out a chuckle as Klaus took a seat next to him, they noticed me now and told me to join and I did so on Luther's other side, "remember?" Klaus said again as they both started laughing and seeing them like that made a smile creep up my face first time today, and before anything else could happen Luther broke into a sob and slowly rested his head on Klaus's shoulder, Klaus looked at me in disbelief, I gave him an assuring nod and lifted his hand and placed it on Luther's shoulder, 

"You know Diego was right. Dad sent me up to the moon because he couldn't stand the sight of this. Of what- of what he did to me. of what I've become", Luther sighed as he spoke in a hushed voice filled with disappointment,

"No, no, no. That's not... it.." Klaus tried to find the right words but I don't think he could and to be honest neither could I, "Dammit, Dad was such an asshole right to the end." Klaus stated through gritted teeth, "You know, if... if there's anything else that I can do, or..."

"I wanna be like you", Luther exhaled talking like he's on his last breath but that was it that was the line I was not gonna let another brother of mine turn into a fucking mess, like not saying he already isn't but imagine a gorilla on drugs, not a pretty view, so I won't be tolerating this conversation more, I was quiet for long,

"Enough now, that's too much Luther"

"Klaus, you're always so carefree, I wanna be number 4" Luther spoke out of desperation, 

"No, no, no Luther trust me you don't want that, all you want is a good night's sleep", Klaus tried to explain with his hands joined,

"Yea and trust me your gonna be fine in the morning", I tried to help but Luther didn't look quite pleased with our efforts and picked himself up with a sudden force and stormed away,

"Fine, I'll go by myself", He stated firmly,

"Wait what no Luther", Me and Klaus got up and ran side by side, 

"Luther waits", but before both of our weak bodies could do anything Luther pushed us away with his one hand making us both slide across the room making me land on my back and Klaus land from between my legs and having my stomach as his cushion, we both groaned as we heard the door shut, "ah shit".

Hihi is again sorry for being off hope you like the comeback chapter... it might be a bit off so I'm scared to read it again but hopefully, you will forgive me for the bad writing as I was on writer's block but I will be back better... promise.

FUN FACT: This was not Luther's first time asking Klaus for drugs, he did that quite often but Klaus always refused to 'share', his way of keeping Luther safe.

AWWWW this is such a cute representation of his personality...
